    try set_connection_option(player, "client-echo", 1) I don't know if that'll
    work, because echoing characters is mostly a client thing, not a in-moo
    thing, however telnet clients should respond to these kinds of things from
    the server, if a person is telnetting directly in it'll work, but not
    necessarily with some clients.
